THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1897. 3 TELLOW JACK i THE SO0TH Louisiana Officials Take Steps to Check the Disease. One Death From the Fever That Caused Considerable Excitement. Assurances Are Given the Public, However, That There Is No Ground for a Scare. countries, where yellow fever is indigen- ous to the soil, report there weekly. There has been steady communication between the island and coast towns, and Dr. Walmsley has little or no doubt that this has been the means of bringing into Ocean Springs the deadly germs of yellow fever. If a rigid quarantine had been maintained between the island and shore he believed the Ocean Springs would now have little else to contend with than dengue fever. CHICAGO, Irn, Sept. 6.—Dr. W. F. Reilly of the Health Department says there is absolutely no danger of the yel- low fever epidemic now threatening the South coming as far north as Chicago. *‘There must be a sustained mean tem- perature of 70 deg. for the propagation of vellow fever,” said he. “With cooler weather than that it siraply dies out. Our average maximum temperature so farin Septem ber is about 68 deg.” GALVESTON, Tex., Sept. 6.—City Health Ofticer Fisuer has declared quar- antine by water against New Orleans, and | has sent the following to State Health | Officer Wearingen at Austin: | New Orleans has case of vellow fever; Ocean Springs two cases. Please notify them NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. 6.—The Louisiana State Board of Healih kept faith with her sister bodies oi the South and the rest of the count y this afternoon, when it made the. official announcement as the result of a careful autopsy that Raoul Gelpi, 13 years of age, had died from yellow fever. Gelpi was the son of prominent people here, and had been spending some time at Ocean Springs where he was taken down with fever and brought home here. Soon after arriving, despite the best of medical attendance, he died. Dr. Theard, the physician in charge, mmediatelv reported to the Board of Health, and expressed the opinion that the death was due to yellow fever. afternoon an autopsy proved that Dr. Theard’s idea of yellow fever was correct. Steps were promptly taken to preventa possible spread of the disease. As the case was one of importation, the doctors expressed confidence that they would be able to check the spread of the disease. The death of young Gelpi naturally caused no little excitement in the city smong the lay public. Physicians, how- ever, expressed no apprehension and state their belief that it was quite p sible to arrest a spread of the feve The board during the day had ordered a rigia quarantine against ali points on the Gulf coast and had taken every precautions to zainst the entry into the city of 1 from Ocean Springs. “We have no fear,” szid Dr. Wimsley, acting president of the Board of Health, “that the fever will spread in New Or- leans. The Board of Health is prepared to spend $1,000,000 to stamp it out and see no reason to feel alarmed. People ought not to get frightened. Tais one case was taken charge of in time and such scientific fumigation has been applied as to warrant the hope that we shall promptly and effectively stamp out the disease. We have made arrangements to issue te-night a circular to every practicing physician in New Orleans commanding them promptly to report every cass, and if, unfortunate: other cases of yellow fever brought to our attention ;we shall notify the world, through the Associated Press, of the facts. “There have been at least four cases in addition to Gelpi, one of the people suffer- ing from fever who have come to New Or- lesns from Ocean Springs. Ten of the most prominent physicians of New Or- leans have been pressed into service, and we have the closest attention given to each of these cases. In every instance bzeteriological examinations showed the | existence of only malarla germs, and no evidence of yellow fever microbes. “I am well within the truth, therefore, when I say the Gelpi case is the only one low fever in New Orleans up to the present time, and [ am sure we have the city fully covered.” During the week ending August 21 re- ports reached President Oliphgnt of the Board of Health of the prevalence of sick- at Ocean Springs, the nature of which was in doubt. & member of the Board of Health, went there learncd that there had been up to t 12 some 400 cases. Of these tnere has been only one or two deatbs, but in two cases the symptoms were so serious as to give rise to the belief that the fever was of a violent type. Dr. Oliphant then brought on Drs. Czar- nowski and Solomon of the board of ex- verts and Dr. Patton, secretary of the Board of Health, all experienced in the treatment of yellow fever. They visited some eleven patients, and after a careful and thorough examination unanimously came to the conclusion that the fever was dengue. The physicians agreed that none of the cases up to then showed symptoms that would even lead to & suspicion of a serious disease. All these physicians have had experience in yellow fever epidemics and are eminent in their profession, and their unanimous conclusion seems to leave no doubt that at the period spoken of Lhe fever was a mild type. During the week, however, yellow fever in virulent form appeared at Ocean Springs. Thke quick death of Dr. Bemis aroused suspicion and by Saturday the boards of health of Mobile and New Orleans were in | possession of information that justified the fear that vellow fever had slipped ! into Ocean Springs. tives of the boards of health of Missis- sippi, Louisiana and the representatives of the Marine Hospital service went at once on Saturday to Ocean Springs. They | were at once convincea that their gloomy | apprehensions were not unfounded. Careful autopsies were made, but aside | from Dr. Saunders of Mobile the experts | were disposed to await a further and com- plete autopsy to remove all doubt before making an official announcement to the world of the appearance of tne scourge. Last night another patient—a woman— died, and this morning an autopsy was held. Its result was to dispel all previous doubt. Acting President Walmsiey of the Louisiana board said this evening: “There was never a doubt about the first diagnosis. At that time, beyond question, dengue fever only prevailed. Out of 600 cases the death rate was only baifof L per cent. Inepidemics of yellow fever the death rate is infinitely heavier. In the past few days, however, vellow fever has got into Ocean Springs. That is proven both by the rapid death rate and by the thorough diagnoses which have have been made by the physicians. No earlier announcement could be made, for the reason that prior to the iast iew days there was no yellow feverexisting in Ocean Springs.” Mr. Walmsley was disposed to hold the representatives of the Marine Hospital service and the Mississippi Board of Health to some responsibility for the in- vasion. He said that the fever had un- questionably been communicated by the constant intercourse of Ocean Springs with Ship Island, where thera is a United States Government quarantine station. Official representa- This | should be | Mr. Oliphant, with | | and Boyle. that quarantine precautions have been taken, and keep us thoroughly informed, so that we can protect our municipal Answer.

Nordeau, a Palo Alto Filly, Wins the Occident Stake. The Pare Mutuel System of Betting Proves a Dismal Failure. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Sept- 6.—The opening day of the State Fair race meet saw but a limited crowd in attendance and a marked scarcity of coin. The city folk looked with dis- dain on pare mutuel boxes and listened with contempt to the beseeching wails of the auctioneer, and it was scon apparent that the system was a failure. At a meeting held to-night by the board of directors of the State Agricultural Soci- ety Leach & Co., whnich firm had the pool- selling privilege at the track on the per- centage basis, relinquished their claim on the association and the privilege for book- ing on the s x days of running events was let to Humphrey & Corbett for §6500. To- morrow there will be three books doing business in the ring and a field book in opening for small bettors, A ccoling breeze made a delightful day for rucing and the track was in superb condition; but outside of a few invigorat- ing bursts of speed displayed at intervals by the “‘Black Hurricane,” Joe Wheeler, which held his field at his mercy, no very {fast time was hung out. The judging of the different heats was ably periormed by Charles W. Chase, who was the presiding official, with George W. Fox and F. W. Covey as associates. Mr. Covey also filled the starter's position, sending his fieldas away nicely aligned. The timers were Harry Agnew, Frank C. DeLong ana William Appleby. The most valuabie event down for de- cision to-day was the Occident stake, for three-year-olds, with a gross value of $2160. The Occident cup of the value of $400 also goes to the winning horse. Following the usual custom the field was a small one, but three scoring up for the wora. The Palo Alto entry, Nordeau, a handsome filly by Norris, was a pro- nounced favorite over Wilkes Direct and Uncle James, seiling at odds of1to2. Driven by the veteran reinsman, Dick Havey, she won in straight heats. In each heat Wilkes Direct was a handy sec- ond, The besttime was The 2:40 trot attracted a field of eight. In the openiug pools our Jack brought $20, Stonewall $2 and the field $14. The favorite took the opening heat in 2:21 quite impressively, but in the three fol- lowing heats wzs on his bad behavior gnd the betting shifted in favor of St¥m- boulette, which borse captured the second and third heats hard pressed. Etta Wilkes, a mare handled by Walter Maben, bobbed up and won the fourth heat, and things appeared to be getting just a little bleary. There was now no betting. The Our Jack people, wno got their coin in early, were walking around with wrinkled faces and parched tongues wait- ing for something to turn up. When calied for the fifth heat Jack seemed to have composed himself, and settling down to business he reeled off the heat in and the one following in 2:194, this settling a very vexing prob- lem. The winner was patiently driven throughout by “Jimmy” Sullivan, the clever Wiillows rein<man. With a record of 2:0814 earned last week at Willows the thoroughbred owner would say the 2:17 pace looked like an exercise eallop for Joe Wheeler, and such it proved. He bLrought $20 in the pools against $6 for the entire field of twelve and won like water pouring from a roof, not having to travel faster than 2:13. Bessie Rankin, which finished second in the first two heats, secured second money and Floracita third. While scoring ior the second heat a wheel of the bike pulled by Blue Bell col- lapsed and Driver Bennett was thrown heavily to the ground. The mare then started through the bunch with the dam- aged bike dragging at her heels. Luckily none of the others became entangled with the runaway and she was caught at the head of the stretch.

Edgren of Californla Victorious In the Hammer-Throwing—Sav=- eral Records Broken. NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—Fine weather favored the New Jersey Athletic Club’s carnival of athletic sports on the club’s grounds at Bayonne, N. J, ‘to- day. The final of the one hundred vard dash was somewhat of a surprise to the Western men, as they looked upon Marbury of Chicago as a sure winner. Sulzer, the local sprinter, won from the 414-yard mark—with Donohue, a 10-yard man, second and Maybury third— in ten seconds flat, Wefers had saved himself for the 300- yard scratch race. Maybury and Rush of the Chicago team and Jerome Buck of the Knickerbocker Athletic Club were Wefers’ opponents 1n this special race. May- bury jumped out in the lead at the crack ‘of tbe pistol and Wefers tackied bhim on the far turn. Coming along the stretch opposite the stand Wefers and Maybury ran close together, but as they turned the curve for the home run Wefers gained by two y ards, although running on the outside. At this point it was verv evident that Maybury was beaten, and Rush came up and tried to tackle the George- town flyer. The latter sprinted wonderfuily, ~ while Rush worked manfully to reach him, but the big East. ern sprinter won oy ten feet, Rush finish- ing ahead of Maybury for third honors. ‘Wefers’ time, 31 seconds, is just 2-5 of a second behind the world’s record for that distance. James S. Mitchell of the Pastime Ath- letic Club made a new world’s record at throwing the 56-pound weight for height. Mitchell hela the record of 15 feet 414 inches, but to-dav he sent the weight to a height of 15 feet 3 3-8 inches, thus beating his own world’s record by 1% incnes. Mitchell threw the 16-pound hammer 144 feet 7 inches, but when his hammer was weighed it was found to be nine ounces under weighr. Kdgren of California threw bis bammer 146 feet 6 1nches, but outstepped the boundary and the throw was declared foul. Edgren's hammer was weighed and it proved to be four ounces over weight, while Chad- wick’'s was three ounces over | weight and half an inch short. Mitchell then got six throws, and Ire used Chadwick’s hammer, but the best be could do was 132 feet 1014 inches, finishingz third to Edgren and Chadwick. 100-yard desh, handicap, first and second men o run in semi-finals—First heat won by E.

OUR FRUIT "W New Yorkers Now Enjoy the Finest Products From the California Orchards. " NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 6.—Wash- ington street, the great wholesale fruit mart, is blocked with crates, baskets, bar- rels, packed with peaches, pears, plums and grapes, much of which is from Call- fornia. California fruits have reached this marketin perfect condition. To learn the reason for tnis change for the better over former years, information was asked of F. R. Frank, President of tne New York Fruit Exchange. He said: “In former years California fruit growers were obliged to choose those varieties of fruit for shipment which had the most enduring qualities. The long transit in hot weather was fatal to highly tlavored but delicate kind-. Even the hardy growths which were sent here lost most of their flavor. The inevitable result was that Calitorn:a fruit gained a bad name. “The growers some time ago determined to overcome the difficulty of transporta- tion. They have made greatimprovements in refrigerator cars, and the temperature is now made to vary so little that the choicest flavored varieties can be sent across the continent. “New York is reaping a benefit and it appreciates its new advantage. Three years ago two carloads of fruit arrived from Cal~ ifornia every day. Now we gel an average of fifteen, and the other day there were thirty-five. “Foreign fruit is not in the market. The Dingley bill put the tariff on it under a plea of increasing the revenue. The ex- cessive duty has so lessened the imports that the revenue from foreign fruits has greatly decreased.” ThE EAST. il Sl WILL APPEAE IN VAUDEVILLE, Countess von Hatzfeldt to Be Seen Upon a Chicago Stage. CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 6.—The Countess von Haizfeldt is to appear at a vaudeville house in this cily this week.

Huntington of a iarge sum of money, ranging from $25,000 to $100,000, if she would abandon the stage and remove her title from the biliboards. The excuse for this interest on the part of the railroad magnate lies in the fact that hisown daughter bears this same title of nobility, she baving married Count von Hatzfeidt, who is a full cousin of this young woman. The Countess is a singerand is thoroughly In earnest in her determination to make a reputation and living for herself. Sr e Eqyypt’s Big Cotton Crop.

McDon- nell, who has been working on airships for meny years, will send up a model at River Grove on Monday next. A three-foot cylinder, thirty feet long, canvas covered and with a frame of bam- boo, wire and linen thread, forms the body of the ship. On each side reach out wings which extend for three feet from the entire length. They are concave from below, and give the model 215 feet of aeroplane lifting power. Four fan-like wheels placed below in po- sitions as though they were wheels for a wagon will furnish power. A three-foot rudder will keep the machine from dip- ping. With a string attached to keep it from going too far this model has sailed seventy-five yards into cloudland and re- turned gracefully and easily to earth. To operate the model a small amount of stored power is used, and a light cord along the stayrope controls the rudder and causes the ship to sail back and forth and maneuverin the air. McDonnell, the inventor, has taken pre- liminary steps for the buiiding of a ship 300 feet’long, 35 feet in diameter and with a lifting power of three ions. He expects a 40-horse power engine to push the ship along at a forty-mile gait. - RSION TEAIN EXC WRECKED, One Person Killea and Thirty-Two In- Jured on the Maine Ceniral.
